This seems to be an MS-DOS-like line break (ASCII 0x13 + 0x10). UNIX (and so FreeBSD) use the NL or LF character 0x10. And 0x13 is the CR character which is equivalent to Ctrl-M, if I do remember correctly. Why is it displayed in the masked (!) form in the output of make? Is there - eventually - a file involved that does use this strange 2-byte-linebreak? Could this be a reason? Is it possible that at this stage of compilation a file named "/boot/kernel^M" is requested, but does not exist? I'm not sure at this, I'm just guessing. Maybe it helps... -- Polytropon >From Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
